Der Vampir von Mykonos
In einer Kapelle findet man die ermordete Tochter eines russischen Oligarchen. Die Leiche ist vollkommen blutleer. Drei Tage später wird ein weiteres Kind umgebracht, dieses Mal der Sohn eines saudischen Prinzen. Auch bei ihm wurde das gesamte Blut ausgelassen. Während die Medien schon vom Vampir von Mykonos sprechen, muss Kommissar Angelos Nikakis fast unlösbare Aufgaben erfüllen: den Täter rechtzeitig finden und den Killer stoppen, den der russische Vater engagiert hat. Er glaubt an einen politischen Hintergrund oder einen Racheakt eines Konkurrenten. Doch zum ersten Mal liegt er vollkommen daneben. Das Motiv des Vampirs hat seinen Ursprung auf Mykonos. Band 30 der "Mykonos Crime"-Reihe. Alle Bände sind einzeln lesbar, die handelnden Personen werden in jedem Band am Anfang vorgestellt.

The Greek Connection
Spanning from WWII to the Cold War and beyond, this is the “magnificent . . . triumphant” biography of the investigative journalist, resistance fighter, and whistle blower who helped expose the Watergate scandal (Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Leadership) He was one of the most fascinating figures in 20th-century political history.

Modern Greece
This volume provides an overview of the history of Greece, while also focusing on contemporary Greece. Coverage includes such 21st-century challenges as the economic crisis and the influx of immigrants and refugees that is changing the country's character. This latest volume in the Understanding Modern Nations series explores Greece, the birthplace of democracy and Western philosophical ideas. This thematic encyclopedia is one-of-its kind in its down-to-earth approach and comprehensive analysis of complex issues now facing Greece. It analyzes such topics as government and economics without jargon and brings a lighthearted approach to chapters on such topics as etiquette (e.g., what gestures to avoid so as not to offend), leisure (how Greeks celebrate holidays), and language (the meaning of "opa"). No other book on Greece is organized like this thematic encyclopedia, which has more than 200 entries on topics ranging from Archimedes to refugees. Unique to this encyclopedia is a "Day in the Life" section that explores the actions and thoughts of a high school student, a bank employee, a farmer in a small village, and a retired couple, giving readers a vivid snapshot of life in Greece.

Sexuality and Eroticism in a Post-pandemic World
The cultural change denominated as “the new normal” goes far beyond the adaptation to habits like physical distancing, limited person-to-person contact, teleworking, and self-isolation established with the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of significant transformations in human behavior spreads today in societies all around the world: physical intimacy decreases while virtual reality expands and alterity declines while artificial intelligence emerges, leading to structural reconfigurations of sex, relationships, gender awareness, and subjectivity. Sexuality and Eroticism in a Post-pandemic World explores this new cultural atmosphere through twelve interdisciplinary essays questioning global governmentality and challenging the biopolitics of the new normal—the administration of self-control societies so politically correct that repressed desire for otherness only finds a simulation of its satisfaction with the forced abnormality, outrageousness, and violence of mainstream porn—, going from ars erotica to alternative pornography, from online dating to gender fluidity, from LGBTQI+ artivism to sex life cultivation, and more.
